Aorto-Bilateral-Femoral-Bilateral-Popliteal Bypass for Leriche Syndrome With Occlusion of Both Superficial Femoral Arteries

Robot Assisted Aorto - femoral Bypass

Laparoscopic vascular surgery has not been widely embraced by vascular surgeons because of the specific technical skills needed in performing vascular anastomosis. Robot assisted vascular surgery has shown the possibility to overcome several limitations of laparoscopic vascular surgery in previous studies. We report two cases of robot assisted aortofemoral bypass grafting for aortoiliac occlusi...

Bilateral superficial median arteries

Bilateral carotid arteries occlusion.

medications. Neurological examination revealed decerebrate rigidity and bilateral Babinski signs. CT on one day after admission demonstrated broad low-density area in the bilateral cerebral hemispheres, including the area of bilateral anterior cerebral artery and middle cerebral artery, but sparing the brainstem and occipital lobe (figure 1). Bilateral internal carotid artery embolisation was i...

Bilateral Iatrogenic Femoral Neuropathy

Dear Editor, Postoperative femoral neuropathy is an uncommon complication associated with pelvic/abdominal surgery. The main mechanism underlying this neuropathy is stretching and/or prolonged compression of the nerve.1,2 The nerve compression can be caused by the self-retaining retractors that are sometimes used during surgery directly constricting the nerve against the pelvic sidewall and ind...
